## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

I SPOKE WITH ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^, THE STUDENT PILOT, WHO WAS ON A SOLO CROSS COUNTRY FLIGHT.  HE STATED THAT HE WAS FLYING FROM SNA TO RNM FOR HIS FIRST SOLO CROSS COUNTRY FLIGHT AS A STUDENT PILOT.  HE SAID THAT THE WINDS AT RNM WERE 100 DEGREES AT 7 KNOTS AND THEY WERE LANDING RUNWAY 9. WHEN HE TOUCHED DOWN ON THE RUNWAY, HE SAID THAT HIS AIRCRAFT IMMEDIATELY BEGAN TO TILT TO THE LEFT AND HE BEGAN TO SKID ACROSS THE RUNWAY.  HE REGAINED CONTROL OF THE AIRCRAFT WHEN HE WAS ALL THE WAY OVER TO THE LEFT SIDE.  HE INDICATED THAT HE DID NOT BELIEVE HE LEFT THE RUNWAY BUT HE DID SEE A RUNWAY LIGHT ON THE SIDE OF THE RUNWAY AND THOUGHT THAT HE HIT THE LIGHT.  HE REPORTED THIS TO THE AIRPORT MANAGER.  THE AIRPORT MANAGER CHECKED THE RUNWAY AND THERE WAS NO DAMAGE TO ANY LIGHTS.  ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^ THEN STATED THAT WHEN HE GOT OVER TO THE PARKING AREA AND STOPPED THE AIRCRAFT, HE NOTICED THAT THE PROP HAD BEEN DAMAGED AND HE HAD STRUCK THE PROP.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System. Reports are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
